eh, i've always heard it's dangerous to have 4 or 5 pt harnesses without a cage due to rollover. 3 pt harnesses allow the body to shift down and towards the center of the car, 4 (or more) do not. this means you are somewhat trapped there. granted cars are getting safer and safer each year so this may not be as much of an issue anymore. for the street harnesses are ok but for tracking, especially purpose built tracking, i think at least a 4 pt cage would be preferable...
